ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am someone
who has to paint.
Art is my pilgrimage.
Creativity is how I process the world.
HARPREET BASSI
Many disciplines.
Interconnected.
I am a multidisciplinary artist and polymath, a senior healthcare professional, Associate Professor of Medicine, therapeutic yoga practitioner, musician, coach and consultant.
These different parts of my life feed my curiosity. Art allows me to interconnect ideas and thoughts, to explore emotion, and to sit with what I do not yet understand. My natural style is Surreal Impressionism: a space where feeling, symbolism and imagination meet.
I create to explore the unknown. Sometimes a painting begins with a clear intention; sometimes its meaning emerges through the act of making.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”A modern extension of the traditional saying
MY CREATIVE PROCESS
Discovery.
And intention.
THE ARCHAEOLOGIST
Following what emerges.
When ideas are flowing through me, I turn to acrylics on canvas. I work intuitively, uncovering connections and allowing the painting to reveal itself.
THE ARCHITECT
Giving an idea its form.
When I am planning a piece, I turn to watercolour on paper. Here I work with intention, shaping a composition that can hold the story I want to explore.
